Abstract

Eine Bedieneinrichtung für ein Elektrogerät weist ein formveränderliches bzw. elastisches Bedien-Feld auf, beispielsweise als Rahmen eines E-lektrokochfeldes. Unter dem Bedien-Feld sind mehrere Piezo-Sensorelemente angeordnet. Die Piezo-Sensorelemente sind auf der Rückseite einer Leiterplatte angeordnet, wobei die Leiterplatte mit der gegenüberliegenden Vorderseite flächig an der Unterseite des Bedien-Feldes angeordnet bzw. daran befestigt ist. Durch Differenzbildung der Signale nebeneinander angeordneter Sensorelemente kann eine sehr gute und sichere Auswertung eines Ortes erfolgen, an dem ein Finger mit leichtem Druck auf das Bedien-Feld aufgelegt ist.

Figure imgaf001
An operating device for an electrical appliance has a form variable or elastic control panel, for example as a frame of an electric cooking hob. Under the control panel several piezo-sensor elements are arranged. The piezo-sensor elements are arranged on the back of a printed circuit board, wherein the printed circuit board is arranged with the opposite front side flat on the underside of the control panel or attached thereto. By subtracting the signals of juxtaposed sensor elements can be a very good and safe evaluation of a place where a finger is placed with light pressure on the control panel.
